antelope meat

[jbmaster]

I was wondering if antelope meat should be considered venison or is it different? Obviously, I never had it. Any thoughts or advice?

It's goat, fine texured light red meat. Shoot them out of grain fields and they
are as good as elk. Far better than deer meat. The hide has hollow hair and
should be skinned off as soon as possible, it holds a foul odor that will taint
the meat. As with deer, if you shoot them where they have been feeding on
sage for more than 3 weeks they are not going to be great eating. Lastly, as
with all game, there is no marbling in the meat so aging may make the meat
a little more tender (which most antelope is "cut with a fork".) but will impart
the gamey fat surrounding the muscles' taste into the meat.

I've had horrible antelope that tasted like pure sage, put me off of goat hunting for years. Last year I took a friend, just to shut him up about having never hunted them. He's from new york.

That guy tasted amazing, put them back on my hunt list

They hung for a night and then went to the processors, skin and all.

BTW, they're not actually related to goats.
